Efforts will be made to reduce the carbon footprint of infrastructure construction by making comprehensive emissions calculations and by, for example, testing ecological compensation in large-scale projects. Low-emission materials will be used in infrastructure construction.
The use and recycling of soil will be enhanced and the involvement of the city in the use of an open soil recycling data platform will be improved. Areas for soil processing and storage will be established in the vicinity of all major new city plan areas and construction sites.
Tampere Water will introduce an environmental tool, continue the planning of the material balance and promote the management of soil masses. In addition, Tampere Water will carry out carbon foot-print calculation in plant design projects.
